It’s gotten to the point that there’s absolutely nothing these fools can do that would shock me.

I believe "Stalingrad" might be the more appropriate name.

“Land of the free and the home of the brave”. Maybe once upon a time long, long ago but certainly not anymore.

I’m really concerned because they are not going to stop. Can anybody give me one example in history where communism has stopped it’s advance without being stopped?

I cringe thinking of Joe Biden in the Oval Office if we get into military conflict with China. He would be looking for
A CNN reporter looked at Biden with that Joe Joe look at the teleprompters, stay with Joe. She ask about wearing mask. He goes off about kids wearing a mask walking around with baseballs because they don’t like to hit. She had blank stare into the camera. She is probably thinking where does he think he is. Biden was referring to a catchers mask. Not mask for protection against the CoVid Virus which was what her question was about.

"Land of the Free"... the place where you can post on social media your uneducated opinion on things you never knew, or heard about in the first place. "Home of the brave"... the "safe space" you run to after someone smarter than you tries to edify and reply with a contrary opinion.
Go Tigers!!!

A legislator has already said if the Dems win the house and the senate he will introduce a bill to get rid of the American Flag. This legislator then said no one would miss it 3 or 4 years from now.
It’s time to stop it now.

Yes, the thirteen stripes represent colonialism at its worst. You know - religious freedom and economic opportunity? What a shame! Not to mention a back-handed salute to the one country that made it possible? We can't rewrite history based on current retrospective analysis, or opinions. It happened, we changed things, and we are here as the greatest nation on earth.
Go Tigers!!!

That's bc we were able to change freely by voting for what we were comfortable with in a democratic free nation. The majority wins, and rightfully so!!!

I’ve thought this for a long time. It’s more melodic, easy to sing, and paints very vivid and meaningful pictures. Our current anthem requires quite the range to sing, uses words that are hard to relate to, and especially when some people sing it, it’s too long.

America, Aemrica, God shed His grace on thee.
You can't have a song that mentions God, much less talking about His grace on America.

Once the rock starts rolling down the hill it’s very difficult to stop its destruction. That’s why appeasement never works. You give that mile and you end up giving and giving trying to keep the peace. Then you are eventually backed into a corner you have to fight like he$$ to get out of.
It’s the National Anthem today and the American Flag tomorrow. Then what’s next??
I say it time to stop the appeasement and fight if we must. This may be an unpopular opinion but if history tells anything it tells us sooner or later we will have fight for what we believe in.

The third verse is kind of strange
Jun 25, 2020, 11:11 PM
|
|
No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Most of the idiot Trumpers who are pissing and moaning don't even know the full first verse. I don't either, but I'm not a ####### Trumper.

WoW, the Star Spangle Banner is racist!
Jun 26, 2020, 3:37 AM

I never new the third verse either but boy that really shows the mentality of Americans!
"In the third verse, Key had a special message for the enslaved people who had dared to fight for freedom—we will pursue you to get revenge: No refuge could save the hireling and slave. from the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave. And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave."
If our forefathers would have addressed this we would not be dealing with this now. We need to make changes now so we don't just pass the problems on to the next generations. America would be a better place.

would be a better National Anthem than the Star Spangled Banner. Considering it was written by some old white guy and thanks God, it won't stand a chance with the woke Marxist mob...

You know something tabbyplague you gave me a thought. I wish Trump would propose changing the anthem to America the Besutiful because of the current anthems third verse. The Democrats would vehemently oppose the reference to God in America the Beautiful. Let’s continue to expose them for who they are. Let’s give Americans a clear choice. You want Marxism or do you want freedom?

we wouldn't have "This Land is Your Land." That man really cared about defeating fascism when many false patriots were just mouthing the words. The jingoists and chauvinists will never understand that symbols, flags, and all the superficial crap don't mean a #### thing. Actions do.
